The "Bokeltsen Treff" - the big family event in Bocholt

Once a year, Bocholt's town centre is transformed into a lively entertainment hub: the Bokeltsen Treff is much more than just a Sunday when shops are open - it's a festival for the whole family!

Between the Historic Town Hall, Neustraße, the Shopping Arcades, the Neutorcenter, and Osterstraße and Nordstraße, visitors can look forward to a colourful programme of activities to join in with, marvel at and enjoy. Whether it's exciting demonstrations, creative activities for children or atmospheric highlights for adults - there's guaranteed to be something for everyone.

From 1 pm to 6 pm, the shops at Bokeltsen Treff will be open, offering attractive special deals. Stroll through the streets, browse for great bargains and let yourself be swept away by the special atmosphere. If you fancy a break in between, you'll find just the right spot to relax in the cosy cafés, ice-cream parlours and restaurants.

Every year, the Bokeltsen Treff attracts thousands of visitors from Bocholt, the wider region and the neighbouring Netherlands.

To ensure a stress-free journey, free parking is available in the town centre - and a free special shuttle service provided by StadtBus Bocholt GmbH ensures convenient transport.
